So when our staff had an opportunity to make a nomination for the Spirit of North Carolina award, we knew it had to be our friends at DHG.

Board Member Comment Form

You're in a Board or Committee meeting. You've got a great idea, a comment, or a question.

You might have had a chance to share it out loud or not. Either way, you want to make sure your thought isn't just a flash in the pan, you want to make sure we capture it and, even better, do something with it. 

Here's one way — write it down. Fill this form out during the meeting or afterward. Your submission will go to both Dan and Karen and they will make sure the right staff member gets it. How easy is that?
